There’s a couple of options.

I’ve used Grocy. It’s not intended for that particular use case but it would work. More for Grocery management.

Vanilla? XFCE was looked a bit like Win 95/98 the last time I used it, say 5 to 10 years ago. I’ve been using KDE which reminds me more of XP or Vista in default configuration. Probably why I like KDE so much.

What your probably looking for though is a theme.

Not crazy about the plastic body or the range but definitely interested. Lord knows there’s not any other options in that price range. Not in the US anyway.

And no, open enrollment wouldn’t be relevant in this case, at least in the US. Changing employment status is generally considered a qualifying life event.

In this case it wouldn’t change anything. You would still need to ask the company. They might make you wait 30, 60 or 90 days or they might not.

Although, I didn’t ask where you are, and in this case it is relevant, as my answer is based on employment practices in the USA.

In my experience it has depended more on the employer than anything else. Some will make you wait, others will say “you’re good”.

It’s something you’ll need to ask the temp agency you’re currently employed by and the company you are assigned to by the temp agency.

Given that my experience with the US healthcare system has largely been terrible over the last 20 years, cant say I’m shocked. Seems like every doc I visit is either a legal drug dealer or a damned rolidex. “You need to see a specialist”. Please. Every damned specialist I need has a waiting list 6 months long.

There was any doubt?

Drink both strong and black. No sugar. Tea must be hot, coffee can be iced, but only in summer.

Despite the timeline we currently live in, The Onion is not a reputable source of information.

Please delete and repost to !theonion@midwest.social

Sadly The Onion needs to up their game. It’s sad that the NYT often reads like them.

My Uncle once told me that the most important thing you can learn is where to find more information.

I saw this when it popped up in my news feed yesterday or the day before. My first thought was to send them a letter back, including their original letter, saying simply:

Dear Fascist,

Regarding your previous letter: Fuck off.

Sincerely,
Pigtails

Perhaps with more flowery wording, but that would be the jist and all this bullshit deserves. Maybe somebody here can help write a more polite, yet insulting reply?

For anyone that does get one of these letters and doesn’t want to risk an terrorist led kill squad at their door, the experts are recommending that you gather proof of your citizenship and contact an immigration attorney immediately.

Libre Office should work in most cases. In the handful that Libre Office can’t you might try installing MS Office through WINE.

One heads up, even MS Office on Windows has trouble with opening MS Office formats correctly between versions. Seems like every time they release a new version the format changes slightly but dramatically. The actual text is usually fine, but formatting is often borked.

A third option is to use Office 365. It’s browser based. It’s also a monthly subscription.

Heating and cooling are expensive at our house so we generally let the temp do what it wants so long as it stays between 64F and 80F. The dehumidifier, though, tends to keep it in the upper end of that range during the summer.

Yep.

You don’t have to but it helps folks that don’t speak English to be able to filter by language. English speakers seem to be dominant in the undetermined category from what I’ve noticed.

Thats a new one on me. What did that do if I may ask? Best I have been able to figure out is that it’s probably IRC related but that’s it.

Though I’m sure that person exists here on Lemmy somewhere :D

I feel seen!

In all honesty, I’ve been doing something somewhat similar for the last 2 decades or so. Originally I was building my archives because I was often away from internet access. Now, though, it’s just become habit.

I started with basic first aid and medical texts and whatever other books and reference texts I found interesting. To that I also archive proprietary software and the source code and releases for the open source software I find useful. Add to that ISOs of the distributions I tend to use and I’m at roughly 3TB. I could probably cut that to 2TB if I remove the older Ubuntu and NixOS releases. I’m over 30TB if you include CD and DVD rips.

About the only thing I am missing from my current archives would be a clone of the Ubuntu and NixOS repositories for all of the “glue” dependencies that no one ever thinks of. After that you would just need the hardware to build out the network.

Technically, they still can be prosecuted through the impeachment process. It doesn’t seem likely to happen at the moment but still it’s possible.

I’m inclined to say no. It pretty much a useless feature and doesn’t solve the fundamental problems of searching a federated service like Lemmy.

Even if LLMs worked like the general public thinks they should, who would pay for the processing time? A one off request isn’t too expensive, sure, but multiply that times however many users a server might have and it gets real expensive real quick. And that’s just assuming the models are hosted by the Lemmy server. It gets even more expensive if you’re using a one of the public APIs to run the LLM queries.
